Yoshifett, the 1% for Episodes I and II doesn't show that people dislike them - look at you own list - just because you don't put AotC or TPM at a tie for the top spot, doesn't mean that you don't like them, does it?

MNy favourite Episode is usually RotJ, so that's where my single vote went, meaning that RotS, TPM, AotC, ANH and ESB were all left with a big fat zero votes from me - does that indicate that I don't like them, or does it just reflect the fact that we only have one vote to give?

A poll that would be really fun would be one where you award points to each Episode in order of how much you like them:
favourite would get points, second favourite would get 5 points, third favourite would get 4 points, 4th favourite would get 3 points, 5th favourite would get 2 points, and sixth favourite would get 1 point - it might give a more correct idea of the standings of each Episode within this online section of the fanbase

Revenge of the Sith. NO CONTEST. Hands down the most emotionally engaging and thrilling film of the saga. So many adjectives to describe its wonder - outstanding, exceptional, terrific, wonderful, stupendous, dazzling, marvellous, excellent, tremendous - that simply don't do it justice. Loved it with all my heart. Bravo, George... bravo!

Hi everyone! I'm new here! I just tried voting and it said I have already voted - not sure my this message would display - I have not voted on these boards before, nor posted - this is my first posting. Any ideas why I can't vote? Is it because I am newly registered, or is it because the poll has closed?

If you go back and reread my post, I said it was the "main reason" not the only reason. Sure ESB has a lot going for it, But the internet created a bias because of all the spoilers. Which gives ESB an added edge. I think if ESB and ROTS was truly juxtaposed without the spoiling of the internet, ROTS would have the lead. It has more action. The opening space battle clearly blows the Hoth battle to smithereens. You get to see Anakin turn. You get to see Obi Wan in his prime. And Yoda dueling with Sidious. It is certainly more dark. Don't get me wrong, ESB is my second fave but I have to say that ROTS has eclipsed them all.

Bar none. It's critically the most acclaimed and with good reason. It was the best directed and acted of all 6. No contest...and the experts agree.

NOTE: ROTS could have been the best if the directing was better. Instead it was,in the words of one critic, "a flawed masterpiece". Oh well. It was still good.

Rottentomato.com had an interesting article back when the movie came out. They researched the old reviews for ESB that came out in and around 1980 (ignoring reviews for the SE) and discovered that the critics at the time almost universally HATED ESB. It only scored a 36% on this retro-tomatometer. I don't think it is terribly accurate to say "the experts agree." Today's experts were kids and teens then and reviewed the SEs with the same childlike innocence. It's something to think about, at the very least.

1) ROTS-The only film of the group that stirred my emotions
2) ESB-Biggest surprises and best lines
3) ANH-The original movie that started it all and inspired the imagination of millions
4) TPM-After watching it a few times and having seen Sith, it moves up
5) ROTJ-The grand finale but Luke is spastic with the light saber and those ewoks
6) AOTC-I understand that Anakin has to be shown as a rebellious teen who can't control his emotions but the acting, terrible.
